Arugula makes a really simple addition to potatoes of any kind. I’ve added handfuls of fresh arugula to smashed potatoes, but it’s too hot for boiling potatoes these days. I prefer to keep the cooking outside on the grill, which means hobo packs.
Tagged potatoes arugula hobopackI knew I wanted to make some kind of pilaf thing to go with some lamb chops. The lamb chops recipe was sort of moroccan–braised in a sauce of onions, tomatoes, coridander, cinnamon–so I wanted to complement that.

I got inspired watching Chef John Bull rock some delicious looking Jerk Chicken on Sunday. His recipe was a bit hard to follow, so I took one out of Chris Schlesinger’s License to Grill and adapted for what I had on hand.

This is a really simple recipe that’s help me recently get over the intimidation factor of working with whole chickens. I’ve done this twice now; once with a kosher bird from Empire and more recently with a whole chicken from my January Meat CSA share. I’ll let you guess which one was tastier.

Like most enchilada recipes, this one has more steps than I typically prefer for a weeknight meal. I was, however, perfect for a pre-holiday vacation day. The recipe is slightly tweaked from the original in Didi Emmon’s Vegetarian Planet.
For the filling:
4-5 medium russet potatoes
1 medium butternut squash
2 T olive oil
1 t dried oregano
